Outland is free on PSN+ in case anyone hasn't played this wonderful game

I got it on sale on Xbox at some point. Kick ass game, just don't expect a new Super Metroid and you're dandy. Beautiful music and visuals.

I got it from the European PS+ a while back and I thought it was pretty good.

Maybe next time they'll also try giving the female characters different models...Kokoro and Tina appear to have the exact same body.

So people complain about the Vita's $250 system price plus the cost of a memory stick.

Yet they have no problem with shelling out $200-$250 for a 3DS, then another $200 for the XL model a year later?

What's better are the Ninthings who will import a 3DS alongside owning their own region's and then claim Vita is too expensive.

Takao · « **Reply #9726 on:** August 16, 2012, 11:22:46 AM »

It would be cheaper to buy a Vita than a 3DS anyways. Remember you've got no games to buy.

I have never been less interested in Mario platformers than I have been for this year's double shot. NSMB2 looks bland as fuck, and I have no plans to buy a Wii U so that's that.

Co oping the wii game was pretty fun. So not having online co op is why I'm not going to bother with nsmb2.

Think the new Raman will have online?

I'm not 100% certain, but because of the shading I think the PSP Dragon Ball games actually looked better. The PS2 ones certainly did. Doesn't matter anyways since this 3DS game is some lazy port of an arcade game.

WWE 13 has a pretty good roster (consisting of current stars & guys from the attitude era): http://wwe.thq.com/roster

1997 HBK is best HBK.

edit: Most of the models look horrendous

$:-\$

iconoclast · « **Reply #9744 on:** August 19, 2012, 01:42:43 AM »

Having the Hunter Hearst Helmsley version of HHH is pretty dumb, and I have no idea why there are two Litas, but I don't mind the rest of the doubles. I have no idea what the story mode is supposed to be like either, but it could be fun if they use the roster wisely.

Steve Blackman would've been great though. He was supposed to be on the 1000th episode of Raw too. :'(

I had a friend in elementary school who subscribed to them and I would always read the magazines once he was done with them. Since I was a broke ass kid, I really liked looking at the articles about various games.

But our source says that Nintendo, which was always "difficult to work with," was uninterested in renewing that contract or in taking part in a number of digital initiatives that Future saw as necessary for the long-term health of the brand.

There's this thread on the first page of GAF's gaming side asking about Maximo and it reminded me how fucking awesome that game is. I don't remember an action-platormer that kicked a fraction of the ass that game did. Then I remembered it was a Capcom joint and since the sequel they seem to have forgotten it completely.

What happened to Capcom that made it so they can't make games like that anymore? I think I know the answer, so that was a more rhetorical question, but I miss games that could be original and challenging and even pay homage to a classic series in the process.

Maximo was forgotten because Army of Zin was one of the biggest bombs in Capcom's entire PS2 catalog. Kind of last gen's Bionic Commando 2009, if you will.

Saidaioujou is coming to 360 in Spring 2013

OH GOD I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW. At least I already know what the 2013 GotY is.

edit: Some more info:

Quote from: EOJ

Asada just did a live broadcast talking about the port at Microsoft’s X360 event today in Tokyo. He even played a bit of the port for the audience (they have it up and running already). Some bits of info:

-Mushi HD was the last port they had planned, but due to the great success of SDOJ in the arcades, Microsoft talked them into releasing it on the X360 earlier this month.
-Asada is interested in using Smartglass for new games. He’s also interested in expanding more into other genres and fusing them with shooting, as they did with Instant Brain.
-He’s working on 2 other projects right now but declined to talk about them.
-He’s going to try and make SDOJ more accessible to a wider audience, something he says they failed to do with previous ports. Whether or not he will be successful remains to be seen, he was a bit vague on his intentions in this regard.
-They already decided the exact release date but they would only say it is Spring 2013, my bet is it will be in April (1 year anniversary of the arcade release).
